How taking a vacation makes you more productive

Look around at kids in your home or neighborhood on vacation. The joy of longer days to swim, the fun of time off and time to do whatever they want spontaneously keeps their spirits and energy high. We can have that too as adults. We can be healthier, happier and more productive with a vacation and time off. Here’s three important reasons why taking a vacation helps improve productivity.

A vacation energizes you

Working to declutter and organize requires energy. In our day to day busy lives, we are giving a lot of energy to what is required. We seldom have energy to get done what is required of us in a day. After a vacation, being refreshed, you are ready to take on decluttering and organizing. You are ready to make decisions and let go of what you don’t need.

Take a vacation and do your organizing

Some times we take a vacation and do the tasks we seldom get to during our typical time at home. Some of us enjoy organizing but seldom have the time to get organized. It may be that your vacation is a gift to yourself to get your organizing done. It makes sense to take a vacation and get your organizing done in order to create balance and serenity.

Open ended time helps you improve productively

When you are away from work, you are more open to fresh ideas. Your brain refreshes just like when you sleep. Your time away is taking care of you. It’s a wellness break that is required for you to be your best. “Getting away from a familiar environment helps gain clarity on life,” says Adam Galinsky, professor at the Kellogg School of Management at Northwestern University. When you take a vacation, you see your tasks and projects with a new perspective.

Be sure to schedule time away and take your vacation time. It’s just what you need.
